Isabel's POV

This is it. The long wait is over.

"Guys kaya nyo 'yan wag kabahan. Nakasupport ang buong section natin para sa inyo okay" kahit na nagchecheer si Rachel para sa'min feeling ko ay hindi pa rin mawala yung kaba ko. Hindi ako kinakabahan sa performance ko. Mas kinakabahan ako sa sasabihin ko mamaya. Lord please po pakiguide po ako.

"Hey! Okay ka lang?"

"Bakit nandito ka sa backstage? Hindi daw pwede yung hindi performer dito"

"I just want to check you out. You look nervous" hala. Mas ninerbyos nga ata ako nung nakita ko sya. "Here drink this" abot nya sa'kin ng mineral water. "Kalma ka lang okay just be yourself and enjoy the song. Aalis na ako pupunta na ako kila harry" ginulo nya ng bahagya ang buhok ko at tiningnan si Eugene "Bro! Goodluck" tumayo si Eugene at nagfist bump sila.

"Huy girl, kayo na ba ni Arvi?" tanong ni Danica.

"H-ha? Hindi pa"

"Guys! Guys go na kayo na yung next.. Cheer up you can do it" sabi ni Rachel habang pumapalakpak.

This is it..

Nung maring ko ang drum sticks na pinatunog kasabay ng pag-strum ng guitar ay hint na para magstart ang first song.

"This song is dedicated to all the teachers who serves as our second parent and best friend here in school. Maam, Sir thank you po for teaching us not only in academics but also moral lesson in life. We owe you where we are right now. Teachers, thanks to you.

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You
For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Showing me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I am aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you

Isa lang ang nakapagpawala ng kaba sa'kin ngayon. Ang makita ang mga guro ko na umiiyak dahil sa galak. Walang papantay sa sayang nakikita ko sa mukha nila.
No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You
Oh... There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You

Nakita ko naman sila Nhadine sa harap at tuwang-tuwa. Nakita ko pa si Jhelo na nag-checheer sa'min.

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Showing me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I am aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you
"Thanks to you"

"The last song is dedicated of course to you my co-students. Wohoo!!!!! gagraduate na tayo guys. I hope that this will not be the end. Ito pa lang ang simula guys. So this song is dedicated to all of you. Specially to the one who makes me feel that I'm really important to him" tumingin ako sa gawi nila Arvi at kinindatan sya.

(When you say nothing at all lyrics)

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need
me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever
I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the
crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need
me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever
I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need
me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever
I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

"Thank you po" sabay sabay kaming nagbow at matapos nun ay bumalik ng backstage.

Matapos kong kumanta ay muli akong sinalubong ni Arvi at binigyan ulit ng tubig. "You know what you have a wonderful voice"

"T-thank you"

"Tara, hinihintay na nila tayo sa labas. Proud na proud sa inyo ni Eugene"

"Ah, Arvi wait" kinuha ko ang kamay ni Arvi at inintertwined ang kamay ko sa kamay nya habang nakangiting humarap s kanya.

"I-isabel?"

"Yes Arvi"

"What do you mean?"

"Oo na nga. Ano gusto mo tanggalin ko na 'tong kamay ko?"

"No! No! Syempre hindi. Yes! Yes!" Bigla syang nagtatalon at napayakap sa'kin. "Thank you Isabel. Best graduation gift 'to. Advance pa nga eh"

"Ano? Let's go?" tanong ko sa kanya habang hindi pa rin binibitawan ang kamay nya.

"Tara"

"Bhessy!!! Congrats ang galing ny-----" Napatingin sya sa kamay ko. "Oh my God!!!! Kayo na?!!!!" tumango ako.

"Yaaaay!!!!!" Dahil dun bigla nya akong niyakap. "Congrats best"

Eugene's POV

'Shet! Shet! Shet'

Ano ka ngayon? Nasasaktan ka? Bakit kasi torpe ka? Wala na. Wala na yung taong mahal mo. MAY MAHAL NG IBA.
